"I really enjoy volunteering because I put a lot of value into being able to give back to the community.
What better way than to combine charitable work with my career? My favorite activity to participate in
the annual Minnesota FoodShare Campaign. We have a whole bunch of activities that people can participate
in and we also have a raffle with some great prizes. People really have fun with the raffle and the company
matches all donations. All the proceeds go to local food shelves that all help feed needy families in
our area." - David, IT Operations Manager

"I enjoy the Everybody Wins Reading Program because it is so nice to step out of the corporate world into
the life of a child for an hour a week." - Rebecca, Director of International Sourcing

"I joined the committee as it is important for me to work for a company that is committed to giving back to
the community. The event I am particularly passionate about is our participation in Minnesota FoodShare
month as we have raised thousands of dollars for those in need across Minnesota." - Chrissy, Human Resources Manager

"I appreciate Entrust Datacard supporting the community by participating in activities such as working at the
Minnesota FoodShare network. My family enjoys volunteering together, and on occasion, their schedules have
enabled them to volunteer with me at an Entrust Datacard sponsored event. It’s a great way to both help our
community and engage with other colleagues" - Sally, Senior Instructional Designer

"I enjoy being a part of the Corporate Giving committee because it gives me an opportunity to take a step back
from my daily office work to truly realize and be grateful for what I have in life. It also feels great to be able
to benefit those who are struggling, and to make even a small impact on their lives." - Kyle, Mechanical Engineer

the correct people, prompts approvals or rejections, and declutters inboxes compared to
the previous process. I also had a variety of other projects, including running reports
